Hyperfire: Removable Turret Mod

In this mod-guide, I will be showing you how to make the turret on your Hyperfire removable. The Hyperfire I worked on already had a few mods done to it which I will not cover here (ARs, NF spring addition), since I am sure they have already been detailed. With this mod, you can exchange a spent turret with a fully loaded one in just a few seconds. This is a very picture heavy post.

Now, dremel off the original turret clutch brace, and cut a 1 1/2” long port directly where it used to be. Again, on both sides:

Other side:

Bevel the plate edge, as pictured:

Draw this diagram onto you polycarbonate and cut it out:
I had to cut one side out of the new turret brace, to make room for the plunger tube. I also cracked mine, and had to add a ¾” long piece to keep it together. This turned out to be necessary though, as it keeps the brace from popping out when installed.

Test fit the brace in the gun:

If everything is fitting together nicely, go ahead and screw the gun back together, after you put all the works back in, of course. I found that a small guide on each side of the turret brace, were needed to keep it in the right place. (You may or may not need these, depending on how neat you cut the ports on the side of the gun)

Cut the two slits pictured. These are for the NF trigger spring.

Cut a piece of polycarb that is ½” by 1.5” Heat it in the middle until it is pliable, then mold it into the shape pictured:

Cut out a # shape in the tip of the piece. This is for the spring to rest on.
